Safety, trust & environment

At the moment no pets are allowed at my place with some possible exceptions. House sitting (at your home) include: feeding, washing food water bowls/give fresh water, playtime, snuggles, treats, walks, clean after your pet, bedtime story, ensuring safety and well-being for your pet and home at all times. Upon request, I can watch your pets all day and night, and take your furry to vet's appointment or grooming session. Contact me for questions/inquiries. Drop-in (30min) visit include: feeding, let outside for potty break, snuggle or play, washing food/water bowls, give fresh water or treats, and ensuring safety and well-being at all times. I can stop by a few times a day to check on your pet, feed, play and let outside for a potty break ensuring safety at all times. A drop-in 30min visit is best for low-maintenance dogs, cats or caged animals, birds, chickens, fish, bunnies, pigs guinea pigs and lizards. You can also add another 30 mins for an extra fee. In order to provide high quality services, it’s important for me to learn about your pet’s preference, food, any allergies, supplements/meds, medical conditions, injuries/surgeries, behaviors, routines, trained/not trained/in training, food/snacks, wake up time, how many walks they get and how long they last, high/low energy, social/not social, leash, favorite toys- written instructions and emergency contacts. I work with one client at a time, meaning that I won't take another pets the same dates. I dont bring any pets or people to your property. I stay overnight in your home so your pets keep their own beds, routines, and backyard. Before any booking, we do a meet & greet so you and your pets can decide if I’m the right fit.

Information Yarira M. would like to know about your pet

Before the meet & greet, send me a brief description, the last flea & tick treatment and the dates/times you would be available to meet to see if we are a good fit. If you are away from the area, in need of a sitter to care for your pets so you can attend that upcoming event, we may be able to coordinate a video call.

A typical day

Playtime with their favorite toys, fetch, get it/let go games to prevent boredom. You will let me know what your pet is allowed to do or not. I like running, jumping and jogging so if your pets like that we are a good fit. I can play some tunes to help them to relax opening their senses to unique sights, sounds and alleviate symptoms of separation anxiety. I have clients who seem to enjoy TV animal shows. Walks are provided around client’s home, parks, trails or beach area within walking distance.

Exclusive Care For Your Pets 🐕🐈‍⬛

Pet care experience

Every review I’ve received is five stars, and here’s why: I take one household at a time. Your pets are never boarded, walked, or watched alongside anyone else’s. When you book me, my attention belongs to your pets and your home, exclusively. You’ll get photos and updates every day! My clients tell me it’s the reason they can actually relax on vacation. I follow your instructions exactly as written, whether that’s a medication schedule, a senior dog’s routine, or a cat who needs things done a very particular way. I’m experienced with oral medications, special-needs pets, seniors, and anxious animals. You’ll come home to happy pets and a house exactly as you left it (and often cleaner). Adjacent areas that I house sit: from San Clemente to Laguna Beach to Irvine, Ladera Ranch to Lake Forest to Costa Mesa.

Our Australian shepherd and our pug love Yarira so much! We hope to have her stay with our pups again.

Yarira was so wonderful. She took such good care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. She also took really good care of my home. I’m so grateful to have found her and highly recommended her.

Another fantastic house sitting by Yarira. She is so attentive to my animals; it makes my trip less stressful knowing they’re taken care of! Thank you!

Yarira is a super sweetheart. So attentive and gentile. We needed help with our new puppy and Yarira listened to our instructions and followed them to a T. She sent us pictures often reassuring us that our new fur baby was happy and doing well. So happy to have found her!
